Researchers at Purdue University seek to enhance optical storage with higher densities and faster reads. A success in the technology development could replace the Blu-ray disc for storage. Through ...

Optical storage is any storage type in which data is written and read with a laser. Typically, data is written to optical media such as compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVDs). At one ...

The explosive growth of data generated by artificial intelligence, cloud computing and modern digital infrastructure is placing increasing pressure on existing information storage technologies.

We could soon store 700 Terabytes on a 12-centimeter optical disk which would be equal to storing 28,000 Blu-ray disks. A separate advance with in data encoding could triple storage to 2.1 Petabytes ...
